State Senator Lou Correa with Jesse and Nellie Saenz of Garden Grove
Dear Friends,
More than 200 years ago, our nation’s Founding Fathers set out to create a blueprint for our freedom and democracy by writing the Declaration of Independence. On July 4, 1776, they built a foundation of democracy as immigrants from around the world who came to America looking for a better life. Every Fourth of July, we are thankful for the blessings of our great country.
As we join our families and friends for Fourth of July weekend, let’s take some time to appreciate the freedoms we have in the United States. This is also an appropriate time to give thanks to our service members, past and present, for their strength and courage protecting our country every day.
Please be sure to take safety precautions while traveling, using the BBQ, and swimming this holiday weekend. Also, please remember fireworks are prohibited in most Orange County cities. For more information about Fourth of July safety tips, visit here.
From my family to yours, have a safe and memorable Independence Day!
Sincerely,
Lou Correa
State Senator, 34th District
